cess for securing an about $1.5 billion Railroad Rehabilitation & Improvement Financing loan from the federal government. In late December, the U.S. Department of Transportation gave All Aboard Florida permission to sell about $1.75 billion in bonds that would be issued through Florida Development Finance Corp.

The county issued a press release shortly after filing the suit.

“The Complaint asserts that the DOT unlawfully allocated (private activity bonds) to AAF under Title 23 of the United States Code,” the release reads. “The DOT claims that because the AAF project has many highway-rail grade crossings, a key safety defect, it therefore qualifies for $1.75 billion of highway-related bonds to fund the entire passenger rail project — a rail project that will travel at speeds too high for the area but too slow to meet the 150 miles per hour statutory requirement for high-speed rail.”

Because none of the capital raised by the bonds is slated to be spent in Martin, the county is a co-plaintiff with Tomas Hewitt, Jupiter, and V. Michael Ferdinandi, Palm Beach Gardens for legal footing.

er of Florida Not All Aboard, said that two suits will likely concern potential investors. The bonds have not yet been approved by the Florida Development Finance Corp.

“I’m excited,” she said. “I’m appreciative and I think it’s the right step.”

Indian River filed the first county suit in March. Durham said that suit is challenging the Environmental Impact Statement based on the National Environmental Protection Act. Co-plaintiffs in that suit are the Indian River County Emergency Services District and Old Vero Ice Age Sites Committee.

In February the County Commission created a $1.4 million fund for battling All Aboard Florida.

In April is gave Durham permission to pull up to $250,000 from the fund to hire McDermott Will & Emery, a Washington, D.C., law firm. The day before Martin created its fund, the Indian River County Commission created a $2.7 million fund. An All Aboard Florida spokes person said the company does not comment on active litigation. At press time, St. Lucie County is considering creation of a $500,000 fund. That will be at the commission’s May 5 meeting.

There’ll be a hearing in late May on both counties legal actions.

Month brings attention to mental health Shelley Koppel STAFF WRITER

skoppel@YourVoiceWeekly.com

Editor’s note: May is Mental Health Awareness Month. As with so many families, the writer has known the pain and the heartbreak of lives limited and shattered by mental illness and drug addiction. The following story is about the programs that one local agency offers to help.

TREASURE COAST — Hibiscus Children’s Center has been working for more than 30 years to maintain a safe shelter for children who are abused, abandoned and neglected by providing prevention, residential services, assessment and recovery programs.

They also help children prepare for the future to enable them to get an education and have the emotional and physical well-being to live productive, independent lives.

Hibiscus Mental Health programs provide therapeutic services to children, youth and families they serve. The residential programs provide behavioral

health services for young people Caroline Beale in the Shelter and Village. There are also infant programs, specialized sexual abuse counseling and transitional services for aging out youth and children discharged from the residential program.

Caroline Beale is a licensed mental health counselor who has been at Hibiscus since March as the director of mental health

and program coordinator for the Sexual Abuse Treatment Program. She spoke recently about a subject that affects every sector of society and about the stigma that often prevents people from seeking help.

“Research has shown that one in five adults will experience some kind of mental health issue in a year,” she said. “They range from an adjustment disorder because of a life change, to adult ADHD, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder and schizophrenia.

“Not all of them are lifelong.

Some diagnoses are temporary or short-term. Even for the lifelong conditions, symptoms can be treated and lessened with appropriate treatment with psychotherapy and psychotropic drugs. Even people with schizophrenia and bipolar disorder can get the right treatment to live functionally with their symptoms. When we see things in the news and it’s found a person had mental illness, it adds to the stigma. Most people with mental illness are not dangerous.”

Parents are often the ones who first notice changes in a child’s

behavior.

“We see parents that come on and tell us the child has made statements or gestures about not wanting to live,” Beale said.

“They may be being bullied. We’re seeing that a lot. Kids are being bullied so badly and at this stage, they believe their peers. It’s so mean and they turn against themselves.”

Beale tells parents that if they notice a change in behavior or patterns, they shouldn’t ignore them.

“If they don’t want to talk, stay in their rooms, don’t want to hang out with friends and talk negatively about themselves, that’s what they’re hearing (outside). It’s happening to a degree I haven’t seen. Someone in the family or someone they trust should talk to them.

If they won’t talk to family, professionals can build a relationship and build trust. We get referrals from pediatricians and schools. Parents can call our mental health coordinator. If we’re not the appropriate agency,

we can direct them to any number of agencies. We work together and collaborate.”

Sexual abuse is also a serious problem in our area.

“One in three girls and one in five boys will become a victim of sexual abuse before their 18th birthday,” Beale said.

“We see a lot of cases that are severe, whether perpetrated by someone in the family or not.

“We see child-on-child abuse, with inappropriate sexual behavior in the home between siblings.

We see more then we‘d like in every county. I think that most of the time, the perpetrator has also been a victim. They re-enact it onto a victim who is usually younger. They have the power and control.”

Beale said that Hibiscus has recently adopted a curriculum against sexual abuse put out

by Lauren’s Kids, an advocacy group.

“Families don’t know how it could happen,” she said. “We want to be preventive. We teach that ‘It’s OK to tell’ and how to tell a good touch from a bad. We are going to start administering

the curriculum at our residential facilities and in school and with community groups.’

Victims of sexual abuse often display certain symptoms, including depression, anger, anxiety and nightmares.

“We make an effort to reduce or eliminate them,” Beale said “It is possible to heal from these symptoms. People who suffer from the trauma tend to turn against themselves, and there may be cutting, suicide attempts, depression, withdrawal, substance abuse or dramatic change in grades.”

Hibiscus Children’s Center needs volunteers to keep things running. There are shelters in Jensen Beach and Vero Beach, fundraising help is always appreciated, and volunteers can assist with community awareness and outreach.

You can make a difference.

MAPP from page 1 year capital improvement plan.

But, wait, not really, county attorney Michael Durham said.

“Nothing’s final until it’s final,” he said in a telephone interview.

“And even if it is final, it can be revisited.”

At the April 28 meeting of the Community Redevelopment Agency — which has the same members as the County Commission — Doug Smith, Jensen Beach, moved that the agency ask the commission to reconsider its decision to nix the proposed Mapp project, along with one on Bridge Road in Hobe Sound. Commissioner John Haddox seconded the motion. Commissioner Anne Scott, Hobe Sound, and others were perplexed by the suggestion that they ask themselves to reconsider what they voted.

“I feel like I’m at that Mad Hatter’s tea party right now,” Scott said at the meeting.

The vote failed after a lot of perplexing discussion about whether the commission actually nixed the Mapp and Bridge road projects in 3-2 vote during the April 21 capital-improvement plan meeting. The commission has three capital improvement plan

meetings slated. The next is after press time, but before publication, on May 6. During the April 28 meeting and in an interview after, Durham said that the first capital-improvement plan meeting was essentially a continued workshop, meaning no decision made there was really made.

In an interview after the April 28 meeting, Haddox said he intends to get the proposed Mapp Road project back to commission discussion.

“We should have convened as the (Community Redevelopment Agency) and learned about these projects from the experts before we yanked them from the (capital improvement plan),” he said.

The Florida Legislature created community redevelopment areas with the Community Redevelopment Act in 1969. CRAs are special zones that keep some property-tax dollars to fund projects to spur economic development for eliminating blight. In theory, this increases property values and tax collections. In a CRA, county taxes paid on property values higher than what they were the base year — when the area was established — stay in that district for economic development and blight elimination. It’s called Tax Increment Financing, TIF.

“I believe we should have had the (Community Redevelopment Agency) convened and gone over the projects with the (neighborhood advisory committees) present,” Haddox said.

“In my opinion, we did the meetings backwards.”

The Old Palm City CRA was created in 2003, with 2002 serving as the base year. The CRA runs along Mapp Road from Martin Downs to All American Boulevard. There’s a western extension along Martin Highway to High Meadow Avenue that is likely to soon be removed from the CRA. In some counties and cities, commissions and councils act as the community redevelopment agencies; in others, they’re separate boards. The commission disbanded the Community Redevelopment Agency — and its neighborhood advisory committees — and assumed its role shortly after all the current members were seated in 2012. A little more than a year later, the commission voted to form new neighborhood advisory committees. The neighborhood advisory committees, which take public comment, evaluate and suggest project priorities and proposals.

The commission acting as the Community Redevelopment Agency must approve them.

The Old Palm City Community Redevelopment Area has about $1.4 million available, the amount that was slated for the initial Mapp Road makeover. The initial makeover forms the basis for doing more elaborate work in modules in coming years as funding is available.

The primary goal of Palm City’s 30-year CRA was construction of the Mapp Road Town Center Design, which was first crafted in 2003, to give the road a small downtown feel. The design has undergone numerous changes.

The design and redesign work has cost about $1 million.

Haddox said that the commission didn’t seem to understand that the intended work would have reduced flooding problems in Old Palm City — thus pollution of the St. Lucie River — before voting to nix the project at the April 21 meeting.

“I believe we should have had the (Community Redevelopment Agency) convened and gone over the projects with the (neighborhood advisory committees) present,” Haddox said. “In my opinion, we did the meetings backwards.”

“Humor is infectious. The sound of roaring laughter is far more contagious than any cough, sniffle, or sneeze.”

I

just returned from a professional conference and one of the presentations dealt with using humor to help one handle the stresses of our day-to-day life at home, in public and at work. The speaker had dealt with the death of her father, then mother and had also suffered through cancer herself. She spoke of just how much humor and laughing had helped her through all of those situations. The speaker was quite entertaining, hilarious and challenged all of us to look for humor in everything and remember those humorous events to help “heal” us from our stressors.

It was stated that laughter releases endorphins, helps people heal and actually can help us lose weight. (No telling how large I’d be if I didn’t laugh as much as I do!) Not only does humor help in these ways, laughter helps our immune system, increases our energy and helps lessen pain.

Humor can lighten a room, remove tenseness from our body

and overall make us look younger and more attractive. Who doesn’t want to look younger and more attractive? We as professional adults often are hesitant to laugh it up and it is sad to think of people who do not have a sense of humor. We as children loved to play, loved to laugh and more often as not as we grew were told to “be serious,” “quit being silly” and the like, and we have lost the joy that comes from humor. It has been said that babies laugh over 300 times a day and we as adults laugh about seven times a day. Do we see a problem from this? Think of it, babies are filled with such joy that they laugh 300 times a day! What a goal for us to all set. How much change would we see in our lives, our homes, our workplace if we just upped our laughter quotients to the

hundreds?

We often see ideas about how to increase employee morale, how to improve moods of workers, how to please customers better. If we want this to happen, it often starts at the top. Don’t forget to SMILE and LAUGH. Also, remind yourself and others, morale and mood are a choice. Often I’m told have a great day, nice day, etc. I often reply, “Well, if I don’t, it will be my fault.” Decide to be in a good mood and enjoy things.

If you are having trouble getting to the humorous or slowing down long enough to laugh, try some of the following activities/exercises to help the laughter roll: • Spend time with children on a playground or at a park.

• Get a dog or cat or volunteer at a pet shelter. Pets can alter your moods and are really hilarious when enjoyed.

• Surround yourself with pleasant, happy, humorous people.

• Subscribe to a joke a day email or smart phone humor app.

• Look for the funny in everything.

• Laugh at yourself.

• Keep your situation in perspective. (Usually things could be much worse — be too blessed to be stressed!)

Life can get you down, but laughter can turn things around. Laughter is infectious and can take the sting out of harsh moments, can ease the pain of bad memories, and can make you the friend/parent/boss/co-worker that everyone likes and wants to be around. Look for the positive and the humor in all you can. It can change your day and your life. As the title stated, don’t take life so seriously — no one makes it out alive!

other’s Day is almost here. This occasion may have special significance for you if you’ve been fortunate enough to have your mother around for your adult life. So naturally, you’ll want to bring Mom some flowers or another gift. But if she’s planning to retire soon, you may want to think about a longer-term way to improve her life — namely, by initiating a conversation about her retirement income strategy.

Of course, she may already have matters well in hand. But a great many people on the verge of retirement have not planned for those years, so you may be able to provide some valuable suggestions. Here are a few ideas: • Boost contributions to retirement plans. If Mom is still working, urge her to contribute as much as she can afford to her IRA and her employer-sponsored retirement plan, such as a 401(k).

The chances are pretty good that she will be spending many years in retirement — in fact, the aver-

sional to determine an appropriate rate of withdrawal from her investments. To help ensure that she doesn’t outlive her resources, she needs to avoid taking out too much during her early years of retirement.

• Take care of legal arrangements. If you haven’t already done so, ask your mother if she has drawn up the important legal documents related to her estate plans. Does she have a will? Has she created a durable power of attorney, which allows her to name someone to make financial and health care decisions on her behalf if she becomes incapacitated? As you know, this is a sensitive topic, so you’ll want to approach it with care.

• Evaluate Social Security options. Your mother is probably well aware that she can start taking Social Security as early as age 62, but will get much bigger monthly payments if she waits until her full retirement age, which will likely be 66 or 67. But

It’s a wonder you’re here to read this.

As the League of American Bicyclists launched its annual National Bicycle Month on May 1, I attended a Florida Traffic & Bicycle Safety Education Program class in Port St. Lucie. That class gives me access to the state’s 30 bicycle rodeo trailers to set up events to teach children how to ride safely and give them free helmets.

I’ll tell you why I was there.

On March 13, at about 6 a.m., a SUV hit me when I was cy-

cling. My beloved Bridgestone was twisted beyond repair. The frame evidences a narrow escape from catastrophic injury or death under a truck tire. Instead I got out with minor injuries, because of good training. I can’t pass on collision survival training in a column, but I have a few things to share to help cyclists, motorists and parents wanting to teach their children how to ride safely.

Wearing helmets when riding.

Martin County’s Parks & Recreation Director, Kevin Abatte, was in a serious car-on-bicycle collision three years ago. The state champion rider told Your Voice News & Views that his

helmet — which was shattered by the impact — is the only reason he’s alive. The seated position of bicyclists and weight of a head almost always cause cyclists to land head down during accidents.

That happens at every age, moms and dads. Even the youngest riders need helmets.

Florida law requires any bicyclist age 15 and younger to wear a helmet. There’s a growing selection of bicycle helmets that children, youths and adults will like, and there’s no law against customizing them with stickers, paint and other supplies found in the craft and art stores. Prices are reasonable, too, so children, or adults, can a few helmets they like.

Avoiding the “right cross” vehicle-on-bicycle collision.

The most common vehicle-on-bicycle collision is the “right cross” — a vehicle colliding into a bicycle at an intersection. It’s also called the “T-bone,” and it’s usually from the cyclists’ right.

The best things drivers can do to avoid the “right cross” is make complete stops at stop signs and red lights, and recognize bicycles as approaching traffic no different than cars. The best things bicyclists can do to avoid it is ride on the road rather than the side-

walk, always stop at red lights and signed intersections, and never pass to the right of stopped or slowed cars at intersections.

When riding on sidewalks, cyclists should stop at every intersection including parking lot entrances and exits to avoid being hit by incoming or leaving vehicles.

Everything cyclists do to add to their visibility helps, too. Neon greens and oranges might be a bit unattractive, but along with helmets they’re the bicyclist’s best road friends.

A big contributor to the “right cross” is improper lighting on bicycles. Florida law requires bicycles ridden between sunset and sunrise to have white headlights visible from 500 feet, and red lights or reflectors on the back that can be seen from 600 feet. Many stores sell safety vests with reflective surfaces that add to riders’ safety.

Avoiding the “right hook” vehicle-on-bicycle collision.

This is the one that got Abatte, what bicycle-safety experts call the “right hook” — a driver making a right turn in front of, or onto, a bicyclist.

she may not know that she might be able to benefit from a Social Security “spousal strategy” that could result in her receiving more income than she could get by just taking her own benefits.

For example, if her spouse is the higher wage earner and can afford to delay taking benefits, your mother could eventually receive higher survivor benefits.

Or, your mother and her spouse could employ a “file and suspend” strategy. Under this strategy, her spouse, upon reaching full retirement age, files for retirement benefits and then immediately requests to have those benefits suspended. As a result, your mother can file for spousal

benefits, which would be larger than what she would receive at her full retirement age. To make sure they are making any Social Security-related moves correctly, though, your mother and her spouse will want to consult with a tax advisor who is thoroughly familiar with Social Security rules.

You want your mother to enjoy a long, happy and active retirement. So, talk to her about the moves she can make to help turn that aspiration into reality.

TREASURE COAST — One of the Salvation Army’s primary missions is feeding the hungry.

The Martin County office recently took a significant step in furthering that goal when it contracted with the Treasure Coast Food Bank to supplement its food pantry.

“The cost of living is higher than ever and people just can’t afford food,” says Corps Officer Captain Christine Kim. “Especially if they have children. Families are in need of food more than ever.

The number of requests for food assistance we have received has doubled in the past year.”

Previously, the Salvation Army relied on donations from the public to stock its pantry, which often limited the amount and type of food it had available to give those seeking help. The new contract with the food bank allows the Salvation Army to order an assortment of foods at a reduced cost which, in turn, enables them to offer a variety of more nutritious foods, including frozen meats, on

to be able to offer them more.”

The Salvation Army also aims to educate their clients a little.

Added to every food pick-up will be copies of some of the USDA’s publications on nutrition and healthy eating on a budget.

The Salvation Army, an evangelical part of the universal Christian church established in 1865, has been supporting those in need in His name without discrimination for 130 years in the United States. Nearly 30 million Americans receive assistance from The Salvation Army each year through the broadest array of social services that range from providing food for the hungry, relief for disaster victims, assistance for the disabled, outreach to the elderly and ill, clothing and shelter to the homeless and opportunities for underprivileged children. Eighty-two cents of every dollar spent is used to carry out those services in 5,000 communities nationwide.

Avoiding the “dead light” vehicle-on-bicycle collision.

Bicycles are compact and nimble, so it’s easy to pull past and alongside cars parked at red lights or stop signs. It’s also very easy for drivers to pull alongside parked bicycles at red lights.

Both practices are dangerous.

When a bicyclist is alongside a vehicle at a red light, he or she is obscured from other drivers’ sight and the risk for being hit after a traffic light turns green is greatly increased. When approaching red lights, cyclists should give the stopping signal — left hand held down — and park about three feet behind the last vehicle in a line positioned so the next car can’t pull alongside. Drivers approaching stopped cyclists should park about three feet behind them no matter where they are on the road. Additionally, a driver behind a cyclist should wait a moment after lights turn green, because it takes longer to get a bicycle up to speed than a car.

Avoiding the “rear end” and “sideswipe” vehicle-on-bicycle collisions.

About 60 percent of rear-end vehicle-on-bicycle collisions happen at night, and inadequate lighting is a major cause. As mentioned above, Florida law requires bicy-

The bicycle lane is a traffic lane.

Since the 1990s, more Florida roads have been getting bicycle lanes. The lanes to the far right of roads are marked with stick figures of people on bikes. The lanes greatly add to riders’ safety and help drivers abide by the state law that requires giving bicycles three feet of clearance when passing.

The bicycle lane is as much a traffic lane as other vehicle lanes, and the same rules apply to it as others. Drivers should check for traffic before crossing bicycle lanes. It’s the driver’s responsibility to use the turn signal and slow to let an approaching bicyclist pass before crossing the lane, rather than to start turning expecting the bicyclist to slow.

Parking on the bicycle lane for a moment, minutes or hours is no different than parking on other traffic lanes. Bicyclists count on the lane for safety, so please keep them clear.

Tim Bustos Sr., former executive director of the Florida Bicycle Association, studied hundreds of vehicle-on-bicycle collisions during his career in transportation design. He told Your Voice News & Views that the “right hook,” although one of the slowest, is perhaps the most dangerous collision to bicyclists.

Drivers can avoid the “right hook” by always using turn signals even on side roads. Additionally, drivers can avoid it by looking at the sidewalk and in the right mirror before turning right.

Bicyclists can avoid it by riding on roads rather than sidewalks, wearing bright colors, having adequate lighting, and staying behind slowed cars — or, if necessary, passing to the left.

cles ridden between sunset and sunrise to have white headlights visible from 500 feet, and red lights or reflectors on the back that can be seen from 600 feet.

Bicyclists increase their safety greatly by getting and using rearview mirrors, too. Day or night, Florida law requires drivers to give bicycles at least three feet of clearance when passing. It makes no exceptions for narrow streets, such as Mapp Road, or being in a hurry. Bicycles have as much right to most roadways as cars, and sidewalk riding has a host of safety problems. At worst staying behind a cyclist until the oncoming traffic is cleared to pass safely will cost a few seconds of travel time.

Florida Not All Aboard gets family photo Patrick McCallister STAFF WRITER

18719

pmccallister@YourVoiceWeekly.com

TREASURE COAST — Florida Not All Aboard is planning a family photo. Actually, it’ll be a mass group photo to celebrate the first anniversary of its inaugural rally, and to create a visual for the Florida Development Finance Corp. to consider at its upcoming bond resolution hearing. That’ll be on Thursday, May 28, in Orlando.

The All Aboard Florida opposition group will have the mass photo opp at 10 a.m. on Saturday, May 9. The group photo will be at Flagler Park, 201 S.W. Flagler Ave, Stuart.

“It is not officially a rally,” K.C. Traylor, co-founder of Florida Not All Aboard, said. “It is a photo opportunity.”

Nevertheless, the firebrand is rarely known to keep her peace.

“I don’t intend for it to be a rally, but I will probably speak a little,” Traylor said.

On Valentine’s Day last year, Traylor sat down at her kitchen table and sent All Aboard Florida a love letter. Well, more like a love-to-hate letter. It was a petition in the name of Florida Not All Aboard addressed to the Federal Railway Administration and Governor Rick Scott posted on Change.org. It was one in a forest of petitions on the social-media website for everything from opposing quack cures for autism to demanding the releases of political prisoners, along with a smattering of obvious parody petitions.

In less than three months, Florida Not All Aboard garnered about 11,000 physical and electronic petition signatures against All Aboard Florida, the proposed passenger rail that would cut a swath through Martin and St. Lucie counties without stopping.

By May 4, Florida Not All Aboard had organized a large rally at Flagler Park. Congressman Patrick Murphy (FL-18) took the stage behind Traylor and made clear his opposition to All Aboard Florida.

Today that petition has about 55,000 signatures. Additionally, Martin and Indian River counties have filed lawsuits against the federal government’s actions related to All Aboard Florida.

At press time, St. Lucie County is slated to consider creating a $500,000 fund for opposing All Aboard Florida.

Traylor credits volunteer petition gatherers.

“They’re everywhere,” she said.

“Rain or shine, they’re at flea markets, green markets and events getting signatures.”

And educating people about All Aboard Florida.

Traylor said folks should arrive in Stuart early. There’ll be a tram service running.

“Bring your own sign, but I’ll have signs there if you don’t,” she said.

The FDFC bond resolution meeting will be 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the DoubleTree By Hilton, 60 S. Ivanhoe Blvd. Orlando. It is a public meeting. In late December, the U.S. Department of Transportation gave All Aboard Florida permission to sell about $1.75 billion in bonds that would be issued through Florida Development Finance Corp. However, the FDFC isn’t obliged to issue the private activity bonds.

People with disabilities who’ll need accommodations should call (407) 956-5695 at least a day in advance of the hearing.

Your Voice News & Views chief photographer Mitch Kloorfain will take the group picture.

Florida Love Bugs - Tis the season to protect your paint.

They’re Baaack!

DON’T LET THEM DESTROY YOUR VEHICLE

Love bugs are extremely harmful (acidic) to your paint and should be removed from your vehicle as soon as possible, or within a few days at the most. The hot Florida sun accelerates permanent damage.

The sooner you visit Bubbles Express Wash to have the love bugs removed, the better your paint will survive the love bug season.

Here are several ways Bubbles helps with removal of the bugs: 1. With the purchase of either the Wash & Wheel ($8), Complete Care ($11) or Ultimate Care ($14) Wash, Bubbles applies a clear coat protectant (Turtle Wax Crystal Polymer Glaze) that helps protect your paint and creates an easier bug removal process. This does not mean you can leave the bugs on for a week and expect that they will not damage your paint. The acid in the bug bodies will quickly erode your clear coat and eventually your paint, but the clear coat protectant helps remove the bugs without as much scrubbing. Bug scrub is included with any Unlimited Club membership.

2. With the add on purchase of Bug Scrub or the Complete Care wash ($11) or Ultimate Care wash ($14) at the paystation, Bubbles will do our best to remove all bug remains from your vehicle.

If you decide to purchase either the Basic Wash ($5) or the Wash & Wheel wash ($8) we offer a bug scrub upgrade for $4.00 or you can stop by the bug scrub station before purchasing your wash and use the free scrub brushes.

If you decide on purchasing either the Complete Care wash or Ultimate Care Wash, depending on the severity of the bugs on the front/bumper/windshield of your vehicle, you can expect an additional wait time of 5-15 minute while we scrub them before you enter the wash.

To completely remove the bugs, they must be scrubbed off by hand and to prevent damage we utilize specialized bug removal pads which are non-marking as well as a bug removal soap and spray.

KMB was one of the few affiliates selected from within KAB’s national network of more than 600 community-based affiliates whose programs, initiatives and efforts aim to transform public spaces into beautiful places.

“One of Keep America Beautiful’s most effective tools is the work of our grassroots network of affiliate organizations, which has an impact on millions of Americans each year,” said Keep America Beautiful President and CEO Jennifer Jehn. “Affiliates such as Keep Martin Beautiful are providing real solutions that help create communities that are socially connected, environmentally healthy and economically sound.”

Community Appearance Index-Litter Index: KMB used the KAB Community Appearance Index (Litter Index) to visually assess overall appearance of communities through indicators such as litter, illegal signs, graffiti, abandoned/junk vehicles and outside storage. A team of community volunteers conducted the visual analysis using a scoring system ranging from 1-4, with “1” rated as “no litter” to “4” being “extremely littered.” Each year, KMB grades Martin County roadways and neighborhoods during a drive-by examination of the same areas at the same time of the year. This annual assessment provides an indication of the success of the community’s anti-littering programs and activities.

Cost/benefit analysis: This assessment is a valuable measurement tool that enables KMB and KAB to demonstrate their ability to leverage community resources by determining the dollar value returned to the community for every dollar invested by government.

Special Hurricane Impact Protection

FOR YOUR VOICE NEWS & VIEWS

A team of four Indian River State College students has garnered national attention for an innovative project gathering data on pollution in the Indian River Lagoon.

Team Lagoon has been selected as a top ten national winner in the National Science Foundation (NSF) Community College Innovation Challenge (CCIC) . The competition challenges college students to propose creative science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) solutions to complex problems. IRSC members of Team Lagoon are developing a system to use highly sophisticated camera sensors mounted on drones to scan the Indian River Lagoon.

Team members Nichole Brewer, Vero Beach; Emily Walker, Vero Beach, William Hutchison, Port St. Lucie and Willie Harris, Vero Beach will attend an NSF Innovation Boot Campus in Washington D.C. June 15 to 18 for immersion in the thinking and skills that

transform innovation into entrepreneurship. They will present their projects to legislators on Capitol Hill and be eligible for a $12,000 prize.

Further supporting the relevance of the project, the Indian River Lagoon National Estuary Program Advisory Board has recommended that $105,000 be allocated for the IRSC lagoon project. The Board recommends how the Estuary Program spends federal money from the Clean Water Act and from the state lagoon specialty license plate sales.

The students are in the first stage of the project, “Optical Characteristics of Lagoon Pollutants,” and are developing novel optical techniques in a lab environment to measure water quality. Upon deployment later this year, the cameras will capture images in specific wavelengths to identify the location of pollutants and record the extent of sea grass and algae blooms to develop a water-quality map providing real-time data.

ay is the month members and supporters of the Fort Pierce Jazz and Blues Society wait for all year long. On Tuesday, May 26, the Sunrise Black Box Theatre, which is usually abuzz with happy chatter and thrumming with the sounds of cool jazz, will be abuzz with anticipation and excitement. Among the crowd of music lovers that night will be a number of students from St. Lucie, Martin, and Indian River counties, all of whom have been working hard, rehearsing, practicing, and hoping to hear their names called as recipients of the Fort Pierce Jazz and Blues Society’s annual music scholarships.

Receiving a $1,000 scholarship from the Fort Pierce Jazz & Blues Society is just the beginning. In addition to the financial assistance, which for some students means the difference between being able to attend college courses or not, winning a Fort Pierce Jazz & Blues Society scholarship also provides each winner with a free membership to the organization.

Beyond that, members of the Society, most of whom are current or retired professional musicians themselves, act as mentors and role models for the young, talented student musicians, providing guidance, advice, musical and professional tips that are truly priceless. The young performers are also given opportunities to hone their skills by performing with the pros during the Society’s regular jazz jams throughout the year.

Winning a scholarship from the Fort Pierce Jazz & Blues Society is a life-changing moment for many student musicians. For some, it’s the first time they feel they’re being taken seriously as a musician, and that feeling is invigorating, inspiring, and indescribably good. Ask any audience member, and they’ll surely tell you that sitting in the audience on Scholarship Night feels almost as good. Whether they’re supporting student musicians they’ve known for years or simply cheering on a student they’ve never met but who is receiving a scholarship they sponsored or helped fund, the entire room is filled with an electric combination of celebration, promise, hope, and music. If you’re lucky enough to arrive early on May 26, maybe you can join the celebration, too.

If you’re a parent or grandparent, or if you’re looking for a way to support a young musician in a different way, the Fort Pierce

Jazz & Blues Society is looking for scholarship sponsors for its fourth annual Summer Jazz Camp. The two-week, day camp experience is open to musicians ages 13–90 (although the Society says it’ll consider those over 91, also), and culminates with a live performance at the Sunrise Theatre Black Box. If you’d like to play with the pros or sponsor an area child, the cost is just $215 for two weeks of style, standards, jam protocol, theory, improvisation and more. You don’t have to play like a pro to attend this ‘band camp’; you just have to love music and want to learn.

Finally, whether you were a player, a dancer, a bystander, or a lurker at the recent Jazz Week 2015, you know how awesome it was every day for seven straight days. All of us at Fort Pierce Jazz & Blues Society want to be sure to acknowledge the incredible dedication of our volunteers, who carried equipment, set up stages, waited out rainstorms, and helped make Jazz Week 2015 the best one ever. This year’s Jazz Week truly did “knock our socks off,” and we’re already planning for next year to be even better.

Thank you for loving jazz and blues enough to warrant a week of live community concerts and performances!

prepares for 6th annual event to benefit kids with cancer MARTIN COUNTY — Ready! Set! Sprint! Preparations are under way for the sixth annual Sunshine Sprint, held at the Stuart Beach on Saturday, Oct. 3. The mini triathlon event has earned kudos from local athletes, fitness enthusiasts and families looking for healthy activities to do together while providing needed funds to children with cancer.

The course is a ¼-mile swim along the ocean beach, followed by a 9.5-mile bike ride through Hutchinson Island and ending with a 5K run. Participants register on www.active.com as an individual to complete the entire course alone or as part of a team of three. Each individual participant and all team members will receive a race bag, transition towel, event T-shirt and a finishing medal.

The Sunshine Sprint, organized by the Stuart office of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Florida Realty, raises money for The Sunshine Kids, a nonprofit organization dedicated to children with cancer providing exciting group activities, trips, events and emo-

tional support to kids receiving cancer treatments in hospitals across North America.

The Sunshine Kids has been Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Florida Realty’s designated charity since 2001 having raised over $2 million for the Kids and continues to be the No. 1 contributor in Florida. Last year, The Sunshine Sprint was the No. 2 company contributor, raising over $30,000 for The Kids. Celebrating its sixth year, the Sunshine Sprint’s 2015 fundraising goal is $50,000.

Merit Title, for the sixth year running, is our premier “Sunshine Hero” sponsor.

Tri-Athletica Sports, located at 417 S.W. Federal Highway, Stuart, is one of the Sunshine Sprint’s many sponsors and will be the race bag pick-up location.

Athletica team members will also participate in this year’s race.

All sponsors, participants and their families are invited to the kick-off barbecue held at the Stuart Beach on Thursday, Oct. 1 from 6-7:30 p.m. For more information, visit www.sunshinesprint. com or call (772) 283-2800.

Lung cancer is the number one cancer killer. Symptoms usually appear in the latest stages, when it is the deadliest. Low-dose CT lung cancer screening programs for current and former smokers can detect lung cancer at the earliest stages before symptoms appear, improving the cure rate to as high as 90 percent.

“There are different themes every day,” Gallagher said. “They do crafts, dance and play games connected to the themes.”

Creative Arts Camps are offered June 15-19 and/or June 22-26, July 27-31 and Aug. 3-7 Florida Arts & Dance will also offer weekly classes in pre-ballet, pointe, hip-hop, tumbling and conditioning. The conditioning class focuses of strengthening the dancer’s core.

Weekly classes begin June 15 and will be taught by FADC faculty members.

Gallagher said that students can put togeth-

“You can start in Creative Arts Camp and take dance classes in the evening,” she said.

“Our intention is that girls and boys enjoy Creative Arts Camp and decide they want to take a dance class or two during the year.”

To that end, FADC will offer an Irish Step Camp, but it is only for students who have studied Irish Step with the school’s instructor.

New students to the dance form should consider taking a class during the school term.

Gallagher noted that the message of Florida Arts & Dance is inclusion.

We embrace all children.”
